Methodology
Most UX designers and visual designers are excellent at executing full force during the production phase, but not many are good at starting with just a brief and a blank piece of paper in order to quickly concept and execute an idea. Even fewer are good at selling their work to a group of stakeholders. Idea generation and the selling of the idea is not just something reserved for mythical Creative Directors — all designers and creative thinkers have the ability to do this well.
Grading
Back in 2008, Irene founded the User Experience and Strategy department at Fantasy Interactive in New York, which recently she left in order to start up her own design studio.
Irene is extremely passionate about design and believes that great design is practical and human-centred at its core, and starts with breaking things down to its simplest form, the straightest line from A to B. Design can always be better, and rocking the boat is always the right thing to do.
